First, if Menendez is found guilty of any wrongdoing he should lose his job. This man puts himself on high and likes to tell you what you can and can not do through laws that he helps pass. We as Americans should hold our elected officials to the same laws they write for us!

Second, the editorial is advocating more taxes on the people. Personally, I think we should take a tax holiday until our local and federal governments can get their houses in order and be more responsible with the money they get from us.

On immigration: Border enforcement, then a path to citizenship. You have to stop the flow. Or no deal!

And, about guns, the child hostage situation in Alabama has been solved. How? Our government sent in FBI assault-rifle-armed agents in fatigues to take out the captor. While I am glad that the child is safe, and the man had no right to do what he did, why does our government have armed law enforcement agents dressed like Army men?

People, ask not what your government can do for you, but what your government will do to you. Wake up and start getting involved.
